OperaCVEs & Vulnerabilities

Opera 7.54 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash from memory exhaustion), as demonstrated using Javascript code that continuously creates nested arrays and then sorts the newly created arrays.

Opera 7.54 and earlier does not properly limit an applet's access to internal Java packages from Sun, which allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information, such as user names and the installation directory.

Opera 7.54 and earlier allows remote attackers to spoof file types in the download dialog via dots and non-breaking spaces (ASCII character code 160) in the (1) Content-Disposition or (2) Content-Type headers.

The Javascript engine in Opera 7.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by creating a new Array object with a large size value, then writing into that array.

Opera Browser 7.23, and other versions before 7.50, updates the address bar as soon as the user clicks a link, which allows remote attackers to redirect to other sites via the onUnload attribute.

Opera before 7.54 allows remote attackers to modify properties and methods of the location object and execute Javascript to read arbitrary files from the client's local filesystem or display a false URL to the user.

Opera offers an Open button to verify that a user wishes to execute a downloaded file, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to construct a race condition that tricks a user into clicking Open via a request for a different mouse or keyboard action very shortly before the Open dialog appears. NOTE: this is a different issue than CVE-2005-2407.

Opera 7.54 and earlier uses kfmclient exec to handle unknown MIME types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a shortcut or launcher that contains an Exec entry.

A race condition in Opera web browser 7.53 Build 3850 causes Opera to fill in the address bar before the page has been loaded, which allows remote attackers to spoof the URL in the address bar via the window.open and location.replace HTML parameters, which facilitates phishing attacks.

Opera allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory reference and application crash) via a web page or HTML email that contains a TBODY tag with a large COL SPAN value, as demonstrated by mangleme.

Opera does not prevent cookies that are sent over an insecure channel (HTTP) from also being sent over a secure channel (HTTPS/SSL) in the same domain, which could allow remote attackers to steal cookies and conduct unauthorized activities, aka "Cross Security Boundary Cookie Injection."

Opera 7.50 and earlier allows remote web sites to provide a "Shortcut Icon" (favicon) that is wider than expected, which could allow the web sites to spoof a trusted domain and facilitate phishing attacks using a wide icon and extra spaces.

Opera 7.51 for Windows and 7.50 for Linux does not properly prevent a frame in one domain from injecting content into a frame that belongs to another domain, which facilitates web site spoofing and other attacks, aka the frame injection vulnerability.

Argument injection vulnerability in Opera before 7.50 does not properly filter "-" characters that begin a hostname in a telnet URI, which allows remote attackers to insert options to the resulting command line and overwrite arbitrary files via (1) the "-f" option on Windows XP or (2) the "-n" option on Linux.

Opera allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Opera to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.

Opera Web Browser 7.0 through 7.23 allows remote attackers to trick users into executing a malicious file by embedding a CLSID in the file name, which causes the malicious file to appear as a trusted file type, aka "File Download Extension Spoofing."

Buffer overflow in Opera 7.02 Build 2668 allows remote attackers to crash Opera via a long HTTP request ending in a .ZIP extension.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera 6.0 through 7.0 with automatic redirection disabled allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the HTTP Location header.

Opera, probably before 7.50, sends Referer headers containing https:// URLs in requests for http:// URLs, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading Referer log data.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 6.05 through 7.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a filename with a long extension.

Buffer overflow in Opera 6.05 and 6.06, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URL with a long username.

The PluginContext object of Opera 6.05 and 7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request containing a long string that gets passed to the ShowDocument method.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 7.11 and 7.20 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HREF with a large number of escaped characters in the server name.
